Jeff Walcott, of ClevelandBrowns.com, reports Cleveland Browns LB David McMillan made the switch from college defensive end to linebacker for the 2005 season. McMillan admits the transition wasn't easy, but now, entering his second season in his new role, he feels a lot more comfortable. He said midway through last season he was able to begin playing instinctually again. A position change takes time, and that's what McMillan needed. He continued the transition, however, and during the team's recent minicamp, McMillan got one of his best opportunities in his tenure as a Brown. With offseason acquisition LB Willie McGinest on the mend from elbow surgery and LB Kamerion Wimbley learning the ropes, McMillan spent much of the time practicing with the first unit. During seven-on-seven and team drills McMillan looked quick, aggressive, and more comfortable than ever in his new role. In a suddenly crowded linebacker unit full of young talent, McMillan said he's aiming for more playing time in 2006.
